Time to Run

   We’re all busy. With work, family, friends, and your honey-do list demanding so much of your time, how do you fit in a run? I have an idea. There’s a black hole in your house right now. Its gravitational pull is sucking your precious time away. It’s your TV. You’ve got to get rid of that sucker.

   Hopefully you didn’t just have a heart attack. I know you’re wondering how you can possibly live without knowing who the next Idol or Survivor is, or which nasty little vampire is doing what to whom, trust me, you will survive. I’m sure you’ll suffer some withdrawal symptoms, but in the end you’ll feel much better.

   I wouldn’t tell you to do something I wouldn’t do myself. Pictured here is my TV sitting on the curb in front of my apartment. I’m not saying you have to throw yours away, you could give it to someone else, preferably someone you dislike. Are you feeling better about getting rid of it yet?

   Just think about all the time you and your family waste in front of the TV. I know it’s frightening to think about how you’ll spend all that extra time you would have, maybe you could actually spend quality time with your loved ones, or have a real conversation with Junior. Or you could use that time to work towards a running goal.

   Plus, if your TV is a dinosaur like mine, you can count carrying it to the curb as your strength training for the day (Lift with your legs).
